Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8100357A1] The construction of a magnetic member for effecting a medical cure, which provides a magnetic contact member on the adhesive surface of a patch to obtain a finger-pressure effect and a magnetic curing effect. A conventional magnetic curing member of this type has a plurality of projections in the vicinity of the center on the surface of a magnetic contact member for locally stimulating the surface of the skin. This conventional member produces weak magnetic lines of force and cannot, therefore, provide a satisfactory curing effect. The magnetic contact member employs magnetic material which is formed by compression molding a powder material such as ferrite and then sintering it. Such a contact member has a disagreeable feeling and an unattractive outward appearance, so that a psychological curing effect cannot be expected. The magnetic curing member of this invention comprises a plurality of projections (4) at the peripheral edge of the surface of a contact member (3), a plurality of ridges (5) and convex and concave portions (6) and (7) of a large curvature formed on the side walls of the contact member (3) corresponding to the positions of the respective projections (4), thereby concentrating the magnetic lines of force at the respective projections (4) so as to remarkably improve the magnetic curing effect. A metallic plating layer (9) is formed on the surface of the contact member (3) to improve the feeling on the skin, as well as the outward appearance thereof together with the psychological curing effect.
